'Everything's packed!'Yukina looked in satisfaction.

Itana smiled.'What are we waiting for then?'

There was a knock at the window.There was a carrier bird with a small capsule tied around one of its legs.Yukina opened the window and let it in.The bird showed it's leg and she quickly untied the capsule and opened it.A folded paper fell into her hands.

She read the contents,but did not say anything.She seemed stunned.

'What does it say?'Itana asked.

'It says...'A smile was starting to spread across Yukina's face,'That I am needed in the village,and I would be welcome anytime to come back.Permanently.'

Itana sighed.'You almost scared me for a moment there.'

                                                               *****************************

'It's a busy day,'Sakura sighed.

'You're right,'Yukina agreed.'People sometimes get a bit careless and light headed.'She looked out the window.'But I can't blame them for wanting to have fun in such a beautiful weather.'

'True,'Sakura chuckled.'I heard that Kakashi-sensei took Itana as his student?'

'Yes.He's doing really well.He's as talented as his father...'A momentary sadness crossed Yukina's face.Sakura patted her back.

Yukina smiled.'Thank you.'

                                                        **********************************

At the gates of the village,a young girl appeared suddenly.She looked around,then jumped backwards immediately.A kunai landed on the ground where she had been just moments earlier.

Two Jounins appeared.'Who are you?'

The girl replied coolly,'I wish to see the Hokage.'
